                        IN HONOR OF RON DiCARLO

                          HON. DONALD NORCROSS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 15, 2016

  Mr. NORCROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor United States Army 
Veteran Ron DiCarlo for his achievements, contributions, and service in 
the United States Army whilst overseas in Korea.
  Ron DiCarlo was drafted into the United States Army on August 4, 1967 
and volunteered for Vietnam, but since he was highly skilled with 
generators he was transferred to Korea. After serving overseas for 
eighteen months Ron was honorably discharged as an SPA 4 from the 
Signal Battalion in Seoul, Korea, in February of 1969.
  After his service, Ron worked for 30 years as a machinist in 
Westmont, New Jersey. Ron served as Senior Vice-Commander of Barrington 
VFW Post 7247 for several years. Along with this, he is also a steady 
contributor to the Wounded Warrior program.
  Ron has been married for the past forty-seven years to his wife Nancy 
and together they have 2 daughters, 4 granddaughters, and a great 
grandson.
  Mr. Speaker, Ron DiCarlo is a great American and family man whose 
service to our country in the United States Army is invaluable, and 
serves as an inspiration to his community. I join with his family, 
friends, and all of New Jersey in honoring the selfless service of this 
extraordinary man.
